I'll need to get a new kettle

I've just managed to completely boil away 3 pints of water because the switch doesn't work on my kettle. I put the kettle on then went into my bedroom. Some time later I came into the living room of my (tiny) flat. I thought - this seems warmer than normal. There was a funny smell. That's odd - I didn't think the pie smelled like that. (The pie I covered the computer monitor in - see below). Then I got to the kitchen and it was completely streamed out. Kettle still works - it's re-boiling just now....this time I'm going to wait here till it boils.
